During the smelting process of the AOD furnace, the unbalanced reaction of material will lead to the occurrence of splashing. It will not only damage the smelting equipment but also seriously injure the personnel. In this study, first, the information of liquid level, audio information and vibration information are detected by multiple sensors respectively. Then the fused information is used to forecast the splashing. Finally, the multitasking fuzzy controller is used to suppress splashing. The results show that the method of forecasting and suppressing splashing can accurately forecast and achieve rapid suppression. Thus the efficiency of smelting can be improved.
