With the price of butadiene soaring, have all the oxidation dehydrogenation units been put into use?

Recently, the price of butadiene has surged; let’s discuss the operating status of the main oxidation-dehydrogenation plants in China. How are the two plants at Kenli Petrochemical and Zhuhai Zhongguan? Is there anyone with expertise in this area?
If there’s a device, just turn it on; going up now might be too hasty

To start up the plant only after the butadiene price has risen – is that such a stupid business plan? The price fluctuations of butadiene are determined by supply and demand; it is simply a matter of market behavior. It has seen another slight decline in the past two days.
Which teacher can introduce butadiene? Thank you!
As far as I know, the problem with butadiene is as follows: In the past, ethylene plants produced butadiene as a by-product of cracking naphtha to obtain ethylene. But now, an increasing number of plants in the United States are switching from using ethane derived from shale gas to produce ethylene, which means that butadiene is no longer produced as a by-product. As a result, there will be a long-term structural shortage of butadiene. But such a sharp rise must also involve speculation.
Which line is under renovation? When can I drive
No wonder our company is in such a rush to carry out another modification for butadiene
