fresh caustic

"Soda" means caustic soda, i.e., sodium hydroxide (NaOH), widely used in refining:

"La soda cáustica es empleada profusamente en las refinerías de petróleo y otras industrias químicas. ya que es un agente despojador de Impurezas"
https://dialnet.unirioja.es/descarga/articulo/4902863.pdf

In this context it's referred to in English as "caustic". "Soda fresca" is "fresh caustic". "Soda agotada" is "spent caustic".

"Many of the operating plants inside a refinery complex use fresh caustic to sweeten the gases/Naphtha products. Almost all of this spent caustic is then transferred to Effluent Treatment Plant of this spent caustic."
