A fluid separation assembly (110) having a fluid permeable membrane (138 and 162) and a wire mesh membrane (118 and 128) adjacent the fluid permeable membrane (138 and 162), wherein the wire mesh membrane (118 and 128) support s the fluid permeable membrane (138 and 162) and is coated with an intermetall ic diffusion barrier. The barrier may be a thin film containing at least one of a nitride, oxide, boride, silicide, carbide and aluminide. Several fluid separation assemblies (110) can be used in a module (185) to separate hydrog en from a gas mixture containing hydrogen.
