  • Example 1 A tricot (thickness: 0.26 mm, groove width: 0.2 mm, ridge width: 0.3 mm, groove depth: 0.105 mm, porosity: 0.5) was used as the second permeation side flow path member 5. . As shown in FIG. 9, the separation membrane leaf was removed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the first permeation side flow passage material was not used and the second permeation side flow passage material was extended between the separation membranes 1. Produced.
  • One tricot is fixed with double-sided tape to an ABS water collecting pipe (width: 1020 mm, diameter: 30 mm, number of holes 40 x 1 line), wound twice, and further connected with 25 tricots, A total of 26 tricots were used as permeate-side flow path materials for 26 bundles of membrane leaves, and were wound around the water collecting pipe as shown in FIG. Furthermore, after winding a film around the outer periphery and fixing it with tape, an edge cut, end plate attachment, and filament winding were performed to produce an 8-inch diameter element, which was then operated. The amount of water produced and the desalting rate were as shown in Table 2.
  • Example 2 A membrane leaf was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the second permeation side channel material was not used. In the same manner as in Example 1, the bundle of membrane leaves was wound around a water collecting pipe as shown in FIG. 10 to produce a separation membrane element and operated. The amount of water produced and the desalting rate were as shown in Table 2.
  • Example 3 The supply-side channel material 6, the separation membrane 1, and the first permeation-side channel material 3 were produced in the same manner as in Example 1.
  • the amount of water produced and the desalting rate were as shown in Table 2.
  • Example 4 A comparison was made except that a polyester non-woven fabric (porosity: 0.72, density: 0.40 g / cm 3 , thickness: 0.26 mm) was used as the permeation side flow path material without using the first permeation side flow path material.
  • a separation membrane element was prepared as shown in FIG. The amount of water produced and the desalting rate were as shown in Table 2.
  • Example 5 A separation membrane leaf was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, and a tricot (thickness: 0.26 mm, groove width: 0.2 mm, ridge width: 0.3 mm, groove depth: 0. 105 mm and porosity: 0.5) were used. A tricot is wound around the water collecting pipe twice, and a plurality of bundles composed of the supply-side channel material 6, the separation membrane 1 and the first permeation-side channel material are wound to produce a separation membrane element as shown in FIG. Drove. At this time, the first permeate side channel material and the second permeate side channel material are not in contact. The amount of water produced and the desalting rate were as shown in Table 2.
