# What is a containerised oxygen plant, and when is it used?

A containerised oxygen plant is a complete PSA plant built inside a shipping container and delivered ready to connect; the Ultra Controlo version is ULTRAOX CO.

It suits sites with no technical room or no space for civil works. The site provides level ground reachable by a crane, a drain for condensate, anchoring and three-phase power, and the plant can run from a diesel generator. Ultra Controlo builds medical air the same way: an ULTRAAR ME containerised medical air system left its factory for a hospital in Milan in July 2026.
