The JS SRV was originally developed for the railroad industry, but the application of the technology in other industries soon became evident. Kelso recognizes and plans to capitalize on the global potential for the JS SRV valves on boiler and pressure vessels, marine transport, stand alone storage tanks and in the petroleum refinery industries, including gas pipelines. Collectively, these industries represent a worldwide billion-dollar market. A share of this market could project Kelso's future annual revenues into the multi-million dollar range.
