Controlled Environment Shipping Containers

An electronic controller configured to facilitate maintaining an ultra low oxygen concentration in a shipping container, the electronic controller including computer readable instructions, which when executed by one or more computer processors, the computer readable instructions cause the processors to:

• facilitate positive pressurization of a composition of a mixture of gases including one or more of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and another inert gas;
• direct a purge valve to emit from at least one source compressed gas to maintain the composition of the mixture of gases, wherein the compressed gas of each respective source is one of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or another inert gas;
• monitor the composition of the mixture of gases;
• and
• cause release of the compressed gas from the at least one source into an interior of the container, such that a variable rate of release is sufficient to maintain an ultra low oxygen concentration and to ensure consistent concentrations of the mixture of gases within the container preventing spoilage of perishable food products.

A shipping container system, the system comprising:

• a shipping container configured to maintain an ultra low oxygen concentration, the shipping container including:
• an electronic controller configured to cause positive pressurization of a composition of a mixture of gases in the shipping container including one or more of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and another inert gas;
• an inert gas release system configured to emit from at least one source compressed gas, wherein the compressed gas of each respective source is one of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or another inert gas;
• one or more sensors configured to monitor the composition of the mixture of gases;
• and
• the inert gas release system further configured to release the compressed gas from the at least one source into an interior of the container, such that a variable rate of release is sufficient to maintain an ultra low oxygen concentration and to ensure consistent concentrations of the mixture of gases within the container preventing spoilage of perishable food products.

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to facilitate maintaining an ultra low oxygen concentration in a shipping container, the computer program product including computer readable instructions, which when executed by one or more computer processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• direct positive pressurization of a composition of a mixture of gases including one or more of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and another inert gas;
• cause a purge valve to emit from at least one source compressed gas to maintain the composition of the mixture of gases, wherein the compressed gas of each respective source is one of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or another inert gas;
• monitor the composition of the mixture of gases;
• and
• variably release the compressed gas from the at least one source into the interior of the container, such that a variable rate of release is sufficient to maintain an ultra low oxygen concentration and to ensure consistent concentrations of the mixture of gases within the container preventing spoilage of perishable food products.
