Modern tactical aircraft utilize Onboard Inert Gas Generating Systems (OBIGGS) to minimize explosive hazards within fuel tanks. Compressed bleed air from the engine passes through an ozone converter before entering the Air Separation Module (ASM). Inside the ASM, hollow-fiber polymeric membranes selectively filter gases; oxygen and water vapor permeate rapidly through the fiber walls and vent overboard. The remaining nitrogen-enriched air, which retains a purity level of at least 95 percent, is routed directly into the fuel tank ullage space to displace combustible vapor.
Statement: According to the passage, the hollow-fiber membranes in the Air Separation Module allow oxygen to vent overboard while directing nitrogen-enriched air into the fuel tank.
