Abstract
Several different base oil types exist in the market including mineral and synthetic oils (e.g. polyalphaolefins, ester, polyglycol, etc.) and are currently widely in use. Although synthetic oils have drawn great attention over the past few decades in terms of their tribological benefits, mineral oils are still widely used in hydropower applications due primarily to their low cost and easy miscibility with other oils. However, despite their widespread use, the industrial world is moving towards more environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions as conventional lubricants pose a serious concern to aquatic life caused potentially by the leakage of them into downstream water. In addition to this, they also have reached their functional limits concerning tribological properties.
