    Abstract: A system (100) includes a separator vessel (134) that is adapted to separate solids particles (192) from a flow of a multi-phase fluid (190), a level sensor (154) that is coupled to the separator vessel (134), wherein the level sensor (154) includes a viscosity sensor that is adapted to measure changes in the viscosity of a fluid mixture that includes the solids particles (192) that are separated from the flow of multi-phase fluid (190) by the separator vessel (134), and a control system (160) that is adapted to determine a level of the separated solids particles (192) accumulated in the separator vessel (134) from the changes in the viscosity of the fluid mixture measured by the viscosity sensor.
