Chemical complexes and processes for the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of paraffins to olefins are disclosed. Said chemical complexes comprise a steam cracker, a C2 splitter, and a hydrogenation unit to remove acetylene wherein an oxidative dehydrogenation unit is integrated with the C2 splitter or the hydrogenation unit to remove acetylene. The oxidative dehydrogenation process can be integrated into back end separation processes of a conventional steam cracker to increase capacity and/or to provide a lower energy route to produce olefins, thus reducing costs. Oxidative dehydrogenation processes may be integrated with a number of processes in a chemical plant such as polymerization processes, and the manufacture of glycols, carboxylic acids and esters.
