Remove caustic from liquid hydrocarbon?

Remove caustic from liquid hydrocarbon?

Does anyone have a recommendation as to how to remove 50 ppm caustic from a liquid hydrocarbon stream?

RE: Remove caustic from liquid hydrocarbon?

I didnt know caustic was soluble in hydrocarbons.

RE: Remove caustic from liquid hydrocarbon?

Greetings,
What kind of hydrocarbon are you dealing with?  Is this oil with water traped in it?  A little more detail would help.  My backgfround is industrial waste water/solids/organic treatment however I may know a few tricks to help you out.  Is this a large scale thing or small?  Can you run your material through a water absorbing material?

Thank you gentlemen.

I will see if I can find out the answers to your questions.
I do know that the stream is less than 10 gpm.

RE: Remove caustic from liquid hydrocarbon?

To Crigity:

The stream is 5 gpm and the liquid is dimethyldisulfide. The stream could pass through a water absorbing material. I'll be anxiously awaiting your suggestions.
