A fluid separation element assembly comprises a fluid separation element having a membrane unit and a wrapping material formed around the membrane unit, an anti-telescoping plate attached to at least one end of the fluid separation element at a condition free to be detached, and a feed water seal member for preventing feed water from leaking through a gap between the fluid separation element and the anti-telescoping plate. The membrane unit is formed by a separation membrane, a permeate carrier material and a feed carrier material which are spirally wound around a permeate collection tube. By providing the anti-telescoping plate detachably, when the separation membrane has reached its life, it is possible to reuse other members. By providing the feed water seal member, it is possible to ensure a large diameter of the fluid separation element as well as to appropriately prevent leakage of feed water into a gap between a pressure vessel and the fluid separation element, thereby increasing the amount of treated water and improving the quality of the treated water.
