Kelso Technologies Inc.: New Patent
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA and BONHAM, TEXAS -- (Marketwired) -- 09/06/16 -- Kelso Technologies Inc. (TSX: KLS)(NYSE MKT: KIQ) ("Kelso" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has been granted a United States Patent (9,441,749) for our new proprietary vacuum relief valve (VRV) effective September 13, 2016. The patent took approximately two years to process and will remain in effect for the next seventeen years.
The VRV is a low pressure device specifically designed to protect rail tank cars from the effect of an excessive vacuum and prevents the implosion of the tank car. The development of our new VRV design has been driven by customers'' concerns and demands for a better performing VRV due to high failure rates of current products in the market today.
Our VRV design features our patented constant force springs and meets the new DOT-117 tank car specifications implemented on October 1, 2015. The VRV has been in commercial service trials as approved by the Association of American Railroads (AAR) with the goal of full commercial distribution of the VRV to customers in the near future.
James R. Bond, CEO of the Company comments that: "Kelso continues to initiate proactive design strategies that provide higher performance standards than previously available in the market. Our primary engineering objectives for all products including the VRV are to surpass regulatory compliance guidelines to better protect the lives of first responders and all in harms way. Despite the recent recession in rail tank car production we remain optimistic that products like the VRV will add to our revenue per rail tank car and lead to enhanced financial performance in the future."
