Description
Ship engine oil can be spoiled by bacteria and fungi growing in it, and green additives might slow that growth while keeping the oil fit for use. Rafal Krakowski tested two such additives in this 2025 study: silver and a mix of helpful microbes, each at two percent in a standard marine oil.
The study tracked key oil traits, including flash point, water content, acid and base levels, thickness, and density. It also counted how bacteria and fungi spread in treated and untreated oil. Microbe growth in fuels and oils is a rising problem across industry, causing clogs and corrosion. If a small green dose both guards the oil and keeps its traits in range, ship operators could cut waste and engine damage at once.
