Veolia – France
“We’ve drastically reduced cleaning downtime in our circulating water tanks using Weda robots.”
— Facility Engineer, Veolia France
Veolia France manages multiple industrial wastewater and by-product treatment systems, including closed-loop water circuits in gypsum production plants. These systems accumulate sludge, sediment, and mineral scale, which can impair flow rates and lead to process disruptions. Traditional manual cleaning methods are time-consuming and expose workers to confined space hazards. By using submersible robotic systems, Veolia achieves consistent, thorough cleaning without shutting down operations. The approach also supports the company’s broader sustainability goals by minimizing water loss and optimizing energy use across its industrial sites.
The Challenge
These tanks were experiencing buildup that compromised flow rates and plant efficiency. Cleaning previously required halting circulation and exposing workers to confined tank environments.
The Weda Solution
The YT-800 robot enabled regular, non-disruptive sludge removal from the tanks. Its portability and remote control system allowed Veolia teams to clean frequently without interrupting production.
