Claim 7:
8. A process for controlling removal of sulfur compounds from a hydrocarbon stream with a caustic stream to provide a treated hydrocarbon stream and a rich caustic stream, the process comprising:
obtaining a data, regarding the rich caustic stream, comprising a concentration of sulfurs species and degree of caustic saturation with the sulfur species in the rich caustic stream;
oxidizing the sulfur compounds in the rich caustic stream in a presence of a catalyst to provide a lean caustic stream;
obtaining a data regarding the lean caustic stream;
comparing the data regarding the rich caustic stream to the data regarding the lean caustic stream; and,
based on the comparing, recommending at least one change to an operating condition associated with the process for controlling removal of sulfur compounds from a hydrocarbon stream.
