Museo Loringiano (Loring Museum)
Jardín Botánico-Histórico La Concepción
Camino del Jardín Botánico
Málaga, March 2024

“From its inception, La Concepcion was renowned throughout Europe, though not for the exuberance and beauty of the garden itself; its fame was due instead to the magnificent collection of archaeological remains at the Loring Museum, a Doric-style pavilion built on a Roman mosaic originally discovered in Cartama which depicted the feats of Hercules. For many years, the Lorings strove to restore all of the archaeological remains that they encountered.” (The Loring Museum, Jardín Botánico-Historico de Málaga)

Cooking oil into biodiesel

Cooking oil into biodiesel
Queensway
London, May 2023

“We recycle the used cooking oil from our kitchens into biodiesel, which we use to help fuel our delivery trucks. We do it by collecting used cooking oil from our restaurants. At a processing facility in Liverpool, the oil is left to settle in large tanks. Smaller and lighter particles float to the top, while heavier ones sink to the bottom. The oil is gently heated and spun to remove water and solids. At this point a process called esterification takes place, a chemical reaction that produces biodiesel. Then filtration and distillation take place. At that point, the biodiesel is ready for use in our delivery trucks. ” (How does bio-diesel power your delivery trucks and how many lorries are powered by used cooking oil?, McDonald's)
