Abstract: The invention relates to a method (100) for producing ethylene and/or other olefins by steam cracking, wherein one or more crackers (10) are loaded with a feed containing paraffin and a raw gas is extracted from the one or more crackers (10), wherein the raw gas is subjected at least in part to processing (20) which comprises a compression (22) and a thermal separation (23) using a C2-refrigerant and a C3-refrigerant, a raw gas compressor (CGC) being used for the raw gas compression (22), the ethylene refrigerant being compressed using a C2-refrigerant compressor (ERC) and wherein the propylene refrigerant is compressed using a C3-refrigerant compressor (PRC). According to the invention, the raw gas compressor (CGC) comprises two serial compressor trains and said compressor trains of the C2-refrigerant compressor (ERC) and the C3-refrigerant compressor (PRC) are each operated at least in part using electrical drives (M) which have at least partially identical performance characteristics, are provided as identical, speed-variable drives and are each supplied via frequency converters (FU). The invention further relates to a corresponding plant.
