The invention relates to a spiral symmetrical flow anaerobic reactor, which comprises a water distribution region, a reaction region and a three-phase separation region, wherein the water distribution region, the reaction region and the three-phase separation region are respectively arranged on a reactor from bottom to top, the water distribution region comprises a bottom plate and a lower post body, the upper surface of the bottom plate is connected with the lower post body, the reaction region comprises a middle post body, the middle post body comprises a spiral flow reaction region and a free airspace region, a back flow pipe is arranged in the free airspace region, and a case of the three-phase separation region is respectively provided with a cone body, an upper post body and a coverplate from bottom to top. The spiral symmetrical flow anaerobic reactor has the advantages that the water distribution is uniform, the blockage is not easy to occur, the spiral symmetrical flow anaerobic reactor trends to the flat push flow state, the treatment efficiency is high, the liquid solid mass transfer effect is good, the organic load impact resistance capability is high, the intermediate product suppression is reduced, and the particle sludge and the recycled alkalinity can be effectively maintained.
