An on-board aircraft inert gas system includes a source of hydrocarbon (134), a source of gas comprising oxygen (134), and a first fluid flow path between the source of gas comprising oxygen and an inert gas output 138). A reactor (132) is disposed along the first fluid flow path that reacts oxygen and hydrocarbon from the fuel tank gas space to produce an oxygen-depleted gas. A heat exchanger condenser (142) removes some water from the oxygen-depleted gas. A water-permeable gas membrane separator (118) receives the oxygen-depleted gas from the heat exchanger and outputs dried oxygen-depleted gas.
