System (100) for producing one or more olefins and one or more carboxylic acids, which is designed to subject one or more paraffins having the number of carbon atoms to an oxidative dehydrogenation, characterized in that the system (100) for the oxidative dehydrogenation has a reactor (10) comprising a plurality of reaction zones (11, 12, 13), that means are provided that are designed to pass a gas mixture with the one or more paraffins successively through the reaction zones (11, 12, 13), that at least two of the plurality of reaction zones (11, 12, 13) have a catalyst of the same type of catalyst and/or that means are provided that are designed to subject the at least two reaction zones (11, 12, 13) to varying temperature influences.
