1. An apparatus for maintaining an ultra low oxygen concentration to prevent spoilage of perishable food products, the apparatus comprising:
at least one controller configured to:
cause a variable rate release of a compressed gas into an interior of a shipping container containing perishable food products, such that the variable rate release maintains an ultra low oxygen concentration;
execute at least one predictive algorithm to regulate the variable rate release of the compressed gas;
via at least one sensor, monitor a composition of a mixture of gases in the shipping container; and
responsive to receiving an indication of at least one parameter, configure the at least one predictive algorithm based the at least one parameter.
