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
