Zhengzhou Yayuan Technology: From Rainwater Harvesting to Intelligent Irrigation, Dual‑Driving Opens a New Chapter for Sponge Cities & Smart Agriculture
Amid the accelerated integration of green development and smart agriculture, Zhengzhou Yayuan Technology (Zhengzhou Yayuan Rainwater Utilization Technology Co., Ltd.) has completed its strategic upgrade from a single‑supplier of rainwater harvesting systems to a comprehensive solution provider for “Sponge City + Intelligent Irrigation”. Adhering to the philosophy of deepening traditional industries and refining new tracks, this national‑level high‑tech enterprise, rooted in the Central Plains for more than a decade, maintains its competitive edge in rainwater harvesting systems while rapidly expanding into intelligent irrigation over the past three years, forming a distinctive dual‑business layout.
Deepening Core Business: A Hidden Champion in Rainwater Harvesting
Founded in 2013 and formerly known as Zhengzhou Yayuan Plastic Co., Ltd., the company has long been engaged in sponge‑city construction. Its core PP rainwater harvesting modules adopt a honeycomb hollow three‑dimensional design, boasting a void ratio of over 95% and bearing capacity up to 60KN/㎡, far exceeding the industry average. The modules can be flexibly assembled into underground water storage tanks, infiltration tanks or flood‑regulation ponds, widely deployed in residential communities, municipal roads, school playgrounds and other scenarios.
Supported by a complete product portfolio for rainwater harvesting, Yayuan supplies pre‑cast sump baskets, rainwater flow diverters, filtration units, UV disinfection devices and integrated rainwater inspection chambers. It delivers end‑to‑end solutions covering rainwater collection, storage, purification and reuse. Thanks to reliable product performance, Yayuan’s rainwater harvesting modules have been exported to overseas markets including the United Kingdom and the United States, and applied in key national sponge‑city projects such as Beijing Daxing Tongrentang Logistics Park and Xuchang Science and Technology Museum.
Growth in New Track: Rapid Rise of Intelligent Irrigation Systems
If rainwater harvesting represents Yayuan’s core competence, intelligent irrigation serves as its second growth curve cultivated over the past three years. Against the trend of agricultural modernization and refined landscape management, Yayuan extends its business scope from water circulation to precise water application, and launches a full range of intelligent irrigation products centered on solenoid valves and controllers.
For solenoid valves and matching controllers, Yayuan offers comprehensive product lines. The CA16 modular station controller is specially developed for solenoid valves. It comes with a base configuration of 4 stations, expandable up to 16 stations, supporting hot‑swap operation. Equipped with 4 independent programming groups, it allows adjustable single‑station irrigation duration from 1 minute to 12 hours 59 minutes, and supports connection with rain sensors and Wi‑Fi remote monitoring. Targeting large‑scale irrigation scenarios, the CJ100 decoder controller adopts two‑wire decoding technology, supporting a maximum of 100 irrigation stations with signal transmission distance reaching 3 km. It reduces cable consumption by 30%‑80% and reaches IP65 protection grade to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.
In terms of water‑fertilizer integration, Yayuan’s full‑automatic 10‑inch touch‑screen water‑fertilizer all‑in‑one machine stands out. Featuring three independent fertilizer‑absorbing channels, it enables precise proportioning of multiple fertilizer stock solutions. Operated via a 10‑inch high‑definition touch screen, the embedded intelligent decision system connects with sensors for soil moisture, light intensity and meteorological data, upgrading operation from automation to intelligence. Industry statistics show that such systems help growers achieve 30%‑50% water saving and over 40% fertilizer saving.
Logic Behind Dual‑Driving: Natural Extension of Technology & Market
The expansion from rainwater harvesting to intelligent irrigation is no blind cross‑industry move, but a natural extension of accumulated technologies. Both sectors belong to the broader field of water recycling, sharing underlying technologies in fluid control, filtration‑purification and system integration. Long‑term cooperation with design institutes including Tongji University Architectural Design Institute and East China Architectural Design & Research Institute has equipped Yayuan with solid capabilities in system design and project implementation, which can be smoothly transferred to irrigation businesses.
From a market perspective, sponge‑city development, high‑standard farmland construction and smart agriculture promotion are all prioritized under national policies. By participating in international exhibitions such as the Central‑Eastern Europe Exhibition, Yayuan has presented rainwater harvesting modules, water‑fertilizer machines and solenoid valves to clients in Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and other countries, receiving positive overseas feedback. Recently, the company won the bidding for rainwater‑harvesting equipment procurement project of Henan Geology‑Mineral Construction Engineering Group, demonstrating its sustained competitiveness in traditional businesses.
Conclusion
From PP modules to solenoid valves, from rainwater collection to intelligent irrigation, Zhengzhou Yayuan Technology follows a clear and pragmatic strategic path: consolidate fundamentals with mature businesses and unlock new growth with emerging segments. At the intersection of two national strategies — sponge‑city construction and smart agriculture, this Central‑Plains‑rooted enterprise keeps writing its dual‑driving success story with solid product strength.
