An inert gas generating system includes a source (14) of a liquid hydrocarbon fuel, and a fractioning unit (18) configured to receive a portion of the liquid hydrocarbon fuel from the source. The fractioning unit includes a perm-selective membrane (134) configured to separate the portion of the liquid hydrocarbon fuel into substantially sulfur-free vapors and a sulfur-containing remainder. The system further includes a catalytic oxidation unit (20) configured to receive and react the substantially sulfur-free vapors to produce an inert gas.
