Kelso Technologies Inc. (Kelso), a railway equipment supplier and manufacturer of pressure relief valves (PRVs), has established an in-house inspection and re-certification service. From its facilities in Bonham, Texas, and with over 25,000 PRVs in service, Kelso attributes its ability to offer the service, to its high track record.
James R Bond, CEO of the Company comments that, “Despite regulatory uncertainty, tough economic conditions and a virtual standstill in the oil industry in 2015 Kelso continues to develop new revenue opportunities based on customer input. While oil-based revenues (14% of rail market) have declined sharply in 2015 the chemical industry (66% of rail market) has remained stable. We remain focused and optimistic on our strategic direction as we are in the final testing stages of our vacuum relief valve and bottom outlet valves. Kelso will be ready for full distribution when final AAR approvals are received and the rail tank car market improves in 2016 and beyond.”
