1 INTRODUCTION

This document share information regarding the Inprocess Booster + training program methodology
and agenda.

2 INPROCESS BOOSTER METHODOLOGY

Inprocess Booster+ uses integrated working process to boost chemical engineering knowledge in
plant design where the student get prepared for chemical engineering and plant design jobs based
on the 4 pillar of plant design: Design Basis, Process Simulation, Engineering Drawing, and Plant
Design.

This knowledge is shared in the Inprocess Booster+ platform on five main tracks plus 3 additional
tracks:

 Track 1 - Onboarding: Instructions for the best experience on your training, including ways of
support, features etc

 Track 2 - Design Basis: Learn all the technical bases to start your work as a chemical engineer
in plant design jobs;

 Track 3 - Process Simulation: Become skilled performing heat and material balance using
Aspen Hysys and/or DWSIM (free simulator);

 Track 4 - Engineering Drawing: Reading and development of block, and process flow diagrams
and, piping & instrumentation diagrams;

 Track 5 - Plant Design: Develop calculation sheets and process documents for piping, drums,
columns, pumps, compressors, etc.

Additionally, the Inprocess Booster+ student will have access to:

 Track 6 - Software and Tools: Access to Jeferson Costa’s library of software, standards,
guidelines, and books for chemical engineers;

 Track 7 - Boost your Knowledge area: Additional classes to extend your knowledge on
chemical engineering and plant design subjects;

 Track 8 - Inprocess Booster+ Certification: Get 60h certificate by completing a design

challenge using the full set of skills desired by jobs.
