1. A method for conditioning synthetic crude oil, the method comprising:
providing synthetic crude oil obtained by pyrolysis of one or more materials selected from polymer, plastic, and rubber materials; providing an aqueous process solution, wherein the aqueous process solution is a caustic process solution and exhibits a pH of between about 8 and about 10; mixing a first volume of the synthetic crude oil with a second volume of the process solution, wherein the first volume of the synthetic crude oil is less than the second volume of process solution; delivering the mixture of the first and second volumes to a separator where conditioned synthetic crude oil is extracted from the mixture; and collecting the conditioned synthetic crude oil from the separator.
