Victaulic buys MTS’ desalination business unit in US

US-based supplier of mechanical pipe-joining systems, Victaulic, has bought US-based MTS Valves & Technology’s desalination business unit for an undisclosed amount.

MTS Valves & Technology’s desalination unit designs and manufactures valves including the MTS plug valve.

Victaulic water and wastewater vice president Jim Renner said the company will provide the products and services of the same quality to MTS’ customers apart from the technical support.

"The acquisition of the MTS desalination business unit enables Victaulic to offer the highest quality and most comprehensive product portfolio for piping systems in the desalination industry," Renner added.

The company’s products when coupled with MTS’ high-pressure plug valve technology is expected to help the engineers and contractors in addressing the demanding build schedules, ease maintenance and reduce the number of field man-hours required during the lifecycle of a project.

The high pressure MTS Plug Valve is used in seawater reverse osmosis applications / desalination plants for control and on / off applications.

The MTS plug valve is also used for high-pressure membrane treatment applications in corrosive environments such as offshore oil and gas sulfate removal systems, industrial water reclamation and reuse facilities, high-purity water treatment for power, and water processing for mining.

Victaulic provides a whole range of grooved couplings, fittings and valves for high-pressure desalination and reverse osmosis applications.

MTS designs, manufactures, assembles, and tests bolted bonnet valves, plug valves, ball valves, tri-eccentric butterfly valves, and special service / specific designed valves.
