Results of performance evaluation tests of a molecular sieve (MSIGG) and a permeable membrane inert gas generator (PMIGG) system for airplane fuel tank inerting are presented. The IGG units, sized to inert the wing tanks of a KC-135, and the test facilities at Wright-Patterson AFB are described. Steady state performance envelope, endurance, and KC-135 mission simulation tests are conducted. The weight and fuel penalties of the MSIGG and the PMIGG installed in a KC-135 are compared.
