The HFM (Hollow Fiber Membrane) technology is perfect for inerting fuel tanks. The FAA link suggests that the only mechanical complexity lies in the pump to supply the air. However I don't see why filtered engine bleed air can't be used, thus creating an even more simplified system.

This is the perfect technology for this need.
