1. A reaction system for reducing a heteroatom content, reducing a total acid number, and increasing API gravity of an oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed stream comprising:

  • an oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed stream;

    reactor vessel configured with a first feed inlet receiving the oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed stream and a second feed inlet receiving a caustic and selectivity promoter stream;

    a reaction region of the reactor vessel, wherein the oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed stream contacts the caustic and selectivity promoter stream;

    a first outlet attached to the reactor vessel configured to receive a heteroatom free hydrocarbon product; and

    a second outlet attached to the reactor vessel configured to receive a used caustic, selectivity promoter and a sulfate salt.
