KLS Kelso Technologies Inc.

Kelso Technologies Inc.  (the "Company" or "Kelso") (TSX VENTURE:KLS) (OTCQX:KEOSF) 

The Company reports that it has filed a patent application for a new Bottom
Outlet Valve (BOV) design for use on new rail tank cars and retrofits of
existing rail tank cars. The new BOV involves detailed proprietary and
engineering knowledge based on specific customer specifications and adoption
criteria. Our new BOV design features several materials and mechanical
engineering innovations that are intended to lead to a "best available
technology" ranking for our new commercial BOV when it is released. 


The patent was filed on June 3, 2013 under a "Non-Publication Request" which
keeps the patent filing private until the patent is issued. We have done this
for competitive reasons as keeping our invention out of the eyes of our
competition until we launch the commercial product carries various market
advantages for Kelso. Our competition will most likely become aware of our BOV
as we go to service trial, however they will not have enough details on the
design to allow them to try to circumvent our ideas. The final patent will
probably take 2 years or more to be granted and carry a 17 year life starting
from the date the patent is granted. 


The BOV will enter Association of American Railroads (AAR) authorized service
trials shortly after AAR review. The BOV is designed to be used on general
purpose rail tank cars such as those used in the transport of crude oil. The
service trial for non-hazardous materials is expected to last one year. Service
trial for hazardous materials is expected to last for two years. 


Key to our long-term success is that Kelso grows its reputation as a reliable
high quality railroad equipment supplier. Our future sales growth will be based
on our continuing ability to create and reliably deliver a new generation of
"best available technology" products that address the demanding design criteria
that our HAZMAT customers require.  


Our current commercial products and patents include our External Constant Force
Spring Pressure Relief Valves, "Kelso Klincher(R)" Manway and the BOV. Our new
BOV represents the next evolution of our patented product catalogue and offers
Kelso another product with an annual multi-million dollar sales potential.
