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.

Abstract
A reaction system and method for removing heteroatoms from oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon streams and products derived therefrom are disclosed. An oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed is reacted in a reaction system thereby forming non-ionic hydrocarbon products. The products derived therefrom are useful as transportation fuels, lubricants, refinery intermediates, or refinery feeds.
