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

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.
 
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.
