A fuel tank inerting system includes a primary catalytic reactor (312) comprising an inlet, an outlet, a reactive flow path between the inlet and the outlet, and a catalyst on the reactive flow path. The catalytic reactor (312) is arranged to receive fuel from the fuel tank and air from an air source that are mixed to form a combined flow, and to react the combined flow along the reactive flow path to generate an inert gas. The system also includes an input sensor that measures a property of the combined flow before it enters the primary catalytic reactor (310) and an output sensor that measures the property of the combined flow after it exits the primary catalytic reactor (312).
