A fuel tank inerting system includes an air separation module with an oxygen permeable membrane and a variable vacuum source in fluid communication with the air separation module. The variable vacuum source provides an adjustable vacuum to the permeate side of the oxygen permeable membrane in the air separation module, driving production of inert gas for fuel tank inerting or fire suppression.
