Background
Professor Peter Jarvis has been working at Cranfield in the Cranfield Water Science Institute since May 2005. Having obtained his MSc in Water and Wastewater Engineering (2001) and PhD in Water Treatment from Cranfield (2004), he worked at Anglian Water in industrial research and development from 2004-2005. Prior to this he studied for a BSc (Honours) in Marine Biology at the University of Liverpool (1995-1998).
Current activities
Professor Jarvis's current research interests centre on using new and existing technologies for advanced removal of natural organic matter and a range of other contaminants from water sources used for drinking. He is actively leading research in these areas on:
- Natural organic matter removal using ion-exchange, novel coagulants and adsorption systems
- Lead in drinking water in collaboration with the drinking water inspectorate for England and Wales
- Photocatalysis for organic compound removal
- Understanding the fate and transport of pesticides (metaldehyde) in ground water spurces used for drinking
- Piloting new flowsheets for the next generation of drinking water treatment works
- Making treatment processes more robust and efficient
- Small scale water treatment options
- Sustainable and energy efficient water treatment
