The Gap

Chemical engineering education does not teach plant design execution

University fundamentals are essential. But engineering companies expect chemical process engineers who can transform process information into real deliverables.

University usually focuses on

  • Thermodynamics and fundamentals
  • Fluid mechanics and heat transfer
  • Equations and theoretical problems
  • Isolated calculations without project context
  • No engineering standards, codes or guidelines
VS

Industry expects you to deliver

  • Process simulations and HMBs
  • PFDs and P&IDs
  • Calculation sheets
  • Process datasheets
  • Equipment sizing and vendor evaluation
Worldwide Demand

The same chemical process engineering skills are required worldwide

Job descriptions across different countries consistently ask for process simulation, engineering drawings, calculations, datasheets and plant design capability.

01

Process Simulation

Aspen HYSYS, DWSIM, heat and material balance development.

02

PFDs & P&IDs

Read, develop and connect process drawings to real engineering decisions.

03

Engineering Calculations

Hydraulics, pressure drop, line sizing and equipment sizing logic.

04

Process Datasheets

Prepare the documents used to specify and purchase equipment.

05

Standards & Guidelines

Become familiar with references, procedures and engineering expectations.

06

Engineering Sense

Understand why decisions are made, not only how calculations are performed.

The BOOSTER+ Framework

DEFINE → MODEL →
DESIGN → DELIVER

From understanding the process to delivering real engineering work.

BOOSTER+ Framework: DEFINE MODEL DESIGN DELIVER
DEFINEUnderstand plant design fundamentals before touching software.
MODELUse simulation to generate reliable engineering data.
DESIGNConvert process data into engineering decisions.
DELIVERProduce real outputs used in EPC and plant design projects.
What You Will Be Able To Deliver

Real engineering outputs.
The work industry hires for.

BOOSTER+ focuses on the deliverables chemical process engineers use in real plant design projects.

Basis of Design

Review and develop the engineering foundation of a project.

Process Simulations

Build Aspen HYSYS and DWSIM models for engineering purposes.

Heat & Material Balance

Generate process data needed for downstream engineering work.

PFDs & P&IDs

Read, interpret and develop industrial process documentation.

Calculation Sheets

Create Excel sheets for hydraulics, sizing and equipment selection.

Process Datasheets

Issue datasheets for equipment, instruments and control valves.

Vendor Evaluation

Review proposals, documentation and vendor drawings like an engineer.

Process Safety Analysis

Understand safety-related studies and HYSYS applications.

Engineering Judgment

Connect calculations, documents, standards and decisions.

Why BOOSTER+ Is Different

A simulated design company environment

BOOSTER+ is organized to help you experience how chemical process engineering work connects inside real projects.

Most training programs teach isolated topics

  • Software without workflow
  • Equations without project context
  • Documents without integration
  • No real guidance when questions appear

BOOSTER+ teaches integrated plant design

  • From scope and basis of design to vendor review
  • Simulation connected to HMB, calculations and datasheets
  • Standards, procedures and guidelines included
  • Inner Circle support from a practicing chemical process engineer

Meet Your Mentor: JEFERSON COSTA

From engineering experience to BOOSTER+

Four moments that shaped my approach to practical chemical process engineering education.

Jeferson Costa and engineering colleagues at Suzano Petroquímica, Brazil, 2008
01 / THE BEGINNING

Where it all started

My plant design journey began in 2007. I soon discovered the gap between university theory and the practical demands of real engineering projects.

02 / FIELD EXPERIENCE

Learning beyond the office

Plant startups in Peru taught me that engineering decisions must work beyond drawings and calculations, under the real conditions of the field.

03 / THE TURNING POINT

The turning point

In 2018, I nearly left engineering. My time in China helped me rediscover my passion for chemical process engineering and its possibilities.

04 / THE MISSION

Why I created BOOSTER+

I created BOOSTER+ to help engineers connect simulation and engineering decisions with practical plant design skills and real project deliverables.

BOOSTER+ is built on real engineering experience.

Everything I learned from plant design, commissioning, startup and international projects shaped the practical training system I wish I had when I started my career.
