A gas separation module (25) is disclosed for separating air into nitrogen (27) and oxygen (26) enriched fractions. The nitrogen enriched fraction 27 may be used to inert an atmosphere inside a fuel tank (32). The air is separated into nitrogen (27) and oxygen (26) enriched fractions by providing a plurality of strands of gas separation membrane wound around a core and maintaining a pressure difference across the walls of the strands of membrane. A low pressure difference of <= 30 psi maintained across the membrane is able to effect gas separation and provide highly nitrogen enriched air. The membrane has preferably been subjected to a modification technique to increase its gas permeability.

La présente invention a trait à un module de séparation de gaz (25) pour la séparation de l'air en fractions enrichies d'azote (27) et d'oxygène (26). La fraction enrichie d'azote (27) peut être utilisée pour rendre inerte une atmosphère dans un réservoir de carburant (32). L'air séparé en fractions enrichies d'azote (27) et d'oxygène (26) par le placement d'une pluralité de brins de membrane de séparation de gaz enroulés autour d'un noyau et maintenant une différence de pression à travers les parois des brins de membrane. Une faible différence de pression de <= 30 livres par pouce carré maintenue à travers la membrane est capable d'effectuer une séparation de gaz et fournit un air hautement enrichi d'azote. La membrane a, de préférence, été soumise à une technique de modification pour accroître sa perméabilité aux gaz.
