Kelso Technologies Inc.: Manway Goes to Houston, Texas

Mr. James R. Bond, CEO and President of the Company (TSX VENTURE:KLS) is pleased
to report that the Company has successfully presented its patented Manway
Securement System ("MSS") to key representatives of the railroad industry, and
the United States Federal Rail Administration ("FRA") in Houston, Texas during
the week of February 17, 2011.


In attendance were regulators, chemical shippers, tank car fleet managers, first
responders (firefighters), repair/retrofit shop personnel, third party fleet
managers and hazardous material loading/unloading personnel. Those involved
universally supported the product design and application as a very significant
improvement in tank car MSS technology and urged Kelso to press forward with its
introduction and full scale distribution into the railroad transportation
market.


Mr. Neil Gambow, CEO and President of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary
Kelso Technologies (USA) Inc. who leads the MSS initiative reports that, "Many
industry people have now seen our new patented MSS and are genuinely excited
about the potential to simplify the complex securement procedures currently
utilized; substantially reduce non-accidental releases of hazardous materials
into the environment and to significantly reduce or eliminate very expensive
regulatory penalties and fines. We have obviously introduced a product that
meets the intent of the regulatory agencies for better manway securement
technology and this represents a major business opportunity to grow Kelso's
future business."


Kelso has received the necessary AAR Application Number to permit installation
of the MSS on railroad tank cars currently in service. In addition several large
chemical customers have agreed to install an aggregate of seven MSS units for a
five to six month service trial evaluation on tank cars in service.


As an integral part of our marketing initiatives the MSS will next be presented
to the Annual Meeting of the Chlorine Institute in March 2011; the meeting of
the AAR Tank Car Committee in April 2011; and the Bureau of Explosives
exposition in May 2011. The MSS is expected to commence its commercial sales
launch in the fall of 2011 after completion of the assessment of performance
data provided by the tested MSS units.
