    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a fluidized slug in a piping conduit. The system includes a first sensor assembly positioned at a first location of the piping conduit, a second sensor assembly positioned at a second location of the piping conduit, the second location being downstream from the first location, and a monitoring controller. The monitoring controller is coupled to the first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly. The monitoring controller is configured to receive first data from the first sensor assembly and second data from the second sensor assembly. The first data indicates a first characteristic of the fluidized slug within the piping conduit and the second data indicates a second characteristic of the fluidized slug within the piping conduit. The monitoring controller then generates an indication of a slug characteristic based on the first data and the second data.
