The invention claimed is: 1. An ion transport membrane oxidation system comprising (a) an enclosure having an interior and an interior surface, inlet piping having an internal surface and adapted to introduce a heated feed gas into the interior of the enclosure, and outlet piping adapted to withdraw a synthesis gas product from the interior of the enclosure; (b) one or more planar ion transport membrane modules disposed in the interior of the enclosure, each membrane module comprising mixed metal oxide material; and (c) a preheater adapted to heat a feed gas to provide the heated feed gas to the inlet piping of the enclosure, wherein the enclosure is adapted to place the heated feed gas in contact with the mixed metal oxide material, and wherein the preheater comprises an interior surface; wherein either (1) any of the interior surfaces of the enclosure, the inlet piping, and the preheater are lined with a copper-containing metal lining, or (2) any of the interior surfaces of the inlet piping and the preheater are lined with a copper-containing metal lining, and the enclosure comprises copper. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein each membrane module has an interior region and an exterior region, and wherein the inlet and the outlet of the enclosure are in flow communication with the exterior region of each membrane module. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein the copper-containing metal lining comprises greater than about 99 weight % copper. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein the copper-containing metal lining comprises less than about 0.0005 weight % oxygen. 5. The system of claim 1 wherein the type of copper-containing metal lining is selected from the group consisting of electroplating, foil, cladding, tubing, and pipe. 6. The system of claim 1 further comprising refractory material disposed between the copper-containing metal lining and any of the interior surfaces of the enclosure and the inlet piping. 7. The system of claim 1 wherein any of the enclosure, the inlet piping, and the preheater comprise one or more elements selected from the group consisting of nickel, silicon, and tungsten. 8. The system of claim 1 wherein the enclosure is a flow containment duct that surrounds the one or more planar ion transport membrane modules and wherein the flow containment duct is disposed in the interior of a pressure vessel. 9. The system of claim 1 wherein the enclosure is a pressure vessel that surrounds the one or more planar ion transport membrane. 10. The system of claim 1 wherein the mixed conducting metal oxide material has the general stoichiometric composition (Ln1-xAx)w(B1-yB'y)O 3-□, wherein Ln represents one or more elements selected from La, the D block lanthanides of the IUPAC periodic table, and Y; wherein A represents one or more elements selected from Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba; wherein B and B' each represent one or more elements selected from Sc, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Copper, Cr, Al, Zr, Mg, and Ga; wherein 0≦x≦1, and 0.95<w<1.05; and wherein □ is a number that renders the compound charge neutral. 11. The method of claim 10 wherein the mixed conducting metal oxide material has the general stoichiometric composition (LaxCa1-x)w FeO3-δ wherein 1.0>x>0.5, 1.1≧w≧1.0, and δ is a number which renders the composition charge neutral. 12. A process for generating synthesis gas comprising (a) providing an ion transport membrane oxidation system including (1) an enclosure having an interior and an interior surface, inlet piping having an internal surface and adapted to introduce a heated feed gas into the interior of the enclosure, outlet piping adapted to withdraw a product gas from the interior of the enclosure, and a preheater adapted to heat a feed gas to provide the heated feed gas to the inlet piping of the enclosure, wherein the preheater has an interior surface; and (2) one or more planar ion transport membrane modules disposed in the interior of the enclosure, each membrane module comprising mixed metal oxide material; wherein either (3) any of the interior surfaces of the enclosure, the inlet piping, and the preheater are lined with a copper-containing metal lining, or (4) any of the interior surfaces of the inlet piping and the preheater are lined with a copper-containing metal lining, and the enclosure comprises copper. (b) introducing a heated oxygen-containing gas into the interior region of each membrane module, introducing a hydrocarbon-containing feed gas into the preheater, withdrawing a preheated hydrocarbon-containing feed gas from the preheater, and introducing the preheated hydrocarbon-containing feed gas into the exterior region of each membrane module; and (c) withdrawing a synthesis gas product from the interior of the enclosure via the outlet piping. 13. The process of claim 12 wherein the hydrocarbon-containing feed gas comprises at least methane and water and optionally comprises any of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. 14. The process of claim 12 wherein the hydrocarbon-containing feed gas is pre-reformed natural gas. 15. The process of claim 12 wherein the feed gas is heated in the feed gas preheater to a temperature in the range of 600 to 1100° C. 16. The process of claim 12 wherein the synthesis gas comprises at least hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. 17.
