Veolia – China

 “Automated cleaning with the YT-600 allows us to reduce Legionella risk without disrupting operations.” — Maintenance Director, Veolia China

Veolia China manages various industrial and municipal water facilities across major cities, including high-risk cooling towers in power and process plants. These facilities often face unique operational challenges, such as high pollution loads, industrial discharge, and complex system layouts. Cooling towers, in particular, require routine desilting and cleaning to maintain thermal efficiency and prevent contamination, especially in densely populated zones. Veolia’s local teams integrate advanced robotic cleaning systems to perform critical maintenance while minimizing risk to personnel and preventing operational downtime.

The Challenge


Regular cleaning of cooling tower tanks was essential to prevent Legionella outbreaks and maintain performance. Manual cleaning required system shutdowns, exposing staff to health risks and delaying operations.

The Weda Solution


 The Weda YT-600 robot was installed for continuous underwater sludge removal without halting operations. Its powerful suction and navigability enabled efficient sediment extraction even in narrow tanks.
