A gas generating system for generating a supply of oxygen or at least an oxygen rich gas, and a residual gas, the system including a first gas separation device for separating from a supply gas, a first gas being oxygen enriched gas, to leave a residual gas. The first oxygen enriched gas from the first gas separation device is communicated to a second gas separation device for further separating from the first oxygen enriched gas, oxygen gas. The second gas separation device generating a product gas which is at least highly oxygen enriched and a further residual gas, with at least one of the first and second gas separating devices including a ceramic membrane through which in use gas ions diffuse.
A gas generating system for generating a supply of oxygen or oxygen rich gas and a residual gas, the system including a first gas separation device for separating from a supply gas, first gas being oxygen enriched gas, to leave residual gas, means to provide the first oxygen enriched gas from the first gas separation device to a second gas separation device for further separating from the first oxygen enriched gas, oxygen gas, the second gas separation device generating product gas which is at least highly oxygen enriched and further residual gas, characterised in that at least one of the first and second gas separating devices including a ceramic membrane through which in use gas ions diffuse.
