A nitrogen generation system 10 includes a bleed air source. The system also includes an air separation module 20 having an inlet for receiving bleed air, a hollow fiber membrane 62 for substantially removing oxygen from the bleed air to produce a stream of oxygen enriched air and a stream of nitrogen enriched air, a first outlet 54 for exhausting the nitrogen enriched air, a second outlet 58 for exhausting the oxygen enriched air from the air separation module 20. The system also includes a nitrogen enriched air line configured to receive the nitrogen enriched air and a fuel tank 28 disposed downstream from the air separation module. The air separation module 20 is positioned within a one of the group consisting of a gas turbine engine, a nacelle, a pylon, an aircraft wing, and combinations thereof. |
