Claim 0:
1. A process for removing sulfur compounds from a hydrocarbon stream, the process comprising:
extracting sulfur compounds with a caustic stream from a hydrocarbon feed stream to provide a treated hydrocarbon stream and a rich caustic stream;
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;
comparing the data regarding the rich caustic stream to a second data; and,
based on the comparing, recommending at least one change to an operating condition associated with the process for removing sulfur compounds from the hydrocarbon stream.
