Kelso Technologies, Inc. (KIQ) Granted U.S. Patent for Pressure Relief Valve

Kelso Technologies, Inc. (NYSE MKT: KIQ), a railway supplier that designs, manufactures, and sells proprietary tank car service equipment used for the safe transport of potentially dangerous materials, recently announced that it has been granted a patent by the United States (#9,234,601 B1) for its Second Dual Preset Pressure Relief Valve (DPRV). The patent was granted on January 12, 2016, and it is expected to play a key role in offering new safety advantages to tank cars facing both accident and non-accident circumstances.

In a recent news release, James R. Bond, CEO of Kelso, commented: “Kelso continues to initiate proactive design strategies that provide higher safety technology alternatives. Despite recent slow adoption strategies for new technologies by the railroad industry we remain dedicated to the design and promotion of the highest quality railway equipment solutions.”

The Kelso Technologies DPRV is a new and improved version designed to provide innovative safety measures to a normal tank car. To do this, the DPRV lowers its operating pressure rating down to a point where the valve stays open. This feature fits in with AAR requirements, enabling the tank to empty in less than an hour and 40 minutes so that the tank cannot over-pressurize, meaning the contents have time to escape, avoiding disastrous explosions.

Bond went on to share the company’s objectives for the future: “Our primary objectives are to surpass regulatory compliance guidelines in order to better protect the lives of first responders and all in harm’s way. We are pleased that Kelso can continue to expand its role in the betterment of railway safety and remain optimistic that products like the DPRV will eventually lead to enhanced financial performance in the future.”

Commercial distribution of the DPRV has not yet been granted, but regulatory approvals from the American Association of Railroads are being followed up.
