The invention discloses a device for automatically skimming sewage to generate methane for increasing value. In order to overcome the defects of single sewage treatment function, poor effective utilization and value increase, large pollution to water sources, disadvantage to environmental friendliness, and the like of the traditional sanitary sewage, digestion tanks and the like, the device comprises a cavity for accommodating sewage, wherein the cavity is provided with a slag discharging mechanism, a sewage inputting mechanism, an air inlet slag flushing mechanism and a sewage level control emission mechanism; an opening of the sewage level control emission mechanism, which is arranged in the cavity, is lower than an opening outside the cavity and is positioned in sewage in the cavity; an opening of the sewage level control emission mechanism, which is arranged outside the cavity, accords with the height of the required sewage level in the cavity. The device disclosed by the invention is mainly used for treating the sanitary sewage to generate methane, is capable of reducing water source pollution to ensure that the sewage is subjected to harmless treatment and is value-added, and is low in treatment cost and high in degree of automation.
