Kelso Technologies Inc.: Acquisition of Eduction Tube Technology
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA and LISLE, ILLINOIS--(Marketwire - Nov. 29, 2012) - Kelso Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "Kelso") (TSX VENTURE:KLS)(OTCQX:KEOSF) -
The Company reports that it has acquired all proprietary and manufacturing rights from the James Wilson Company of Houston, Texas for their eduction tube (ETS) product line for US$65,000.
ETS are used in the loading and unloading of highly corrosive chemicals from rail tank cars and road tank trailers. Hydrochloric acid is the largest application for the ETS and a key chemical in hydraulic fracturing and oil sands processing. Growth of production output in the petroleum, natural gas and oil sands industries has fueled increases in demand for new chemical rail tank cars in 2013 and 2014 - a market of interest for Kelso.
Our ETS will be marketed as the "Kelso Tiger Tube™" and sold to our OEM, retrofit and repair customers in conjunction with our external pressure relief valve that has been specifically designed for the rigors of acid handling and transport. Our subsidiary Kelso Innovative Solutions will manage the design elements of the ETS.
James R. Bond, CEO of the Company comments that, "We continue to build our brand in the railroad industry based on our ability to engineer and reliably supply "best technology" solutions that address the demanding technology criteria of our customers. The expansion of our product catalogue with established ETS technology is an important addition to our business growth strategy."
