[0002] With the accelerating pace of urbanization in my country, water resources are becoming increasingly scarce. The discharge of nitrogen and phosphorus sources from wastewater into rivers without proper resource utilization leads to eutrophication and frequent algal blooms. Therefore, wastewater resource utilization is of paramount importance. Wastewater treatment technology has undergone a century of development, evolving into numerous processes to meet national discharge or reuse water quality standards, making outstanding contributions to the wastewater resource utilization process.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0025] 1. In the denitrification chamber, a portion of the concentrated water and the wastewater filtered by the microalgae-anaerobic MBR membrane filter chamber are mixed evenly to provide sufficient carbon source for denitrifying bacteria. No additional organic matter is required, which realizes the resource utilization of carbon source, overcomes the waste of resources in traditional processes, improves the denitrification effect and enhances the removal of nitrates by microorganisms.

This design makes the SSMBR a self-sustainable MBR, or a self-supporting membrane bioreactor. It can also be a PMBR (Peripherally Supported Membrane Bioreactor), i.e., a passive MBR. The coupling device of this invention enables the directional cultivation of Chlorella. Microcystis in water produces algal toxins during photosynthesis, posing a threat to water quality, while Chlorella can resist aging. Through the "sandwich" arrangement of ultraviolet lamps 37 and flat membrane plates 38, the ultraviolet lamps 37 and flat membrane plates 38 form a flat membrane plate module, with a 10cm spacing between them. The algae on the flat membrane plate 38 are irradiated by the ultraviolet lamps 37.

[0069] Other components and connections are the same as in Specific Implementation Method 1.
[0070] Specific implementation method three: Combining Figure 1 This embodiment describes a method of using the coupling device described in the first specific embodiment above. Concentrated water is supplied to the denitrification chamber 5 and the upflow anaerobic sludge bed chamber 6 through the first inlet pipe 10 and the second inlet pipe 11. The concentrated water in the upflow anaerobic sludge bed chamber 6 undergoes solid-liquid-gas separation via a three-phase separator 8. Sludge is blocked and settled by the three-phase separator 8 and discharged through the perforated sludge discharge pipe 19. The separated gas is discharged and collected through a gas pipeline 9. Depending on the quality of the concentrated water, during the wastewater treatment process, the BOD5 / TN ratio in the denitrification chamber 5 can be monitored using a real-time wastewater treatment monitoring device. If the ratio is greater than 5, the opening degree of the inlet valve is slightly adjusted to be smaller; if it is less than 3, the opening degree of the inlet valve is slightly adjusted to be larger. The separated gas is a gaseous resource such as methane.

The opening cycle of the aeration device 39 depends on the actual situation and can be one week, two weeks or one month.
[0073] The opening and closing degree of the reflux valve is controlled to regulate the ratio of effluent to reflux after membrane filtration. The water in the first collection tank 2 has had most organic pollutants and phosphorus compounds removed, and contains a certain amount of nitrates, which can be used for field irrigation, landscaping, and other purposes.

If the ratio is greater than 5, the opening degree of the inlet valve is slightly adjusted to be smaller; if it is less than 3, the opening degree of the inlet valve is slightly adjusted to be larger. The separated gas is methane or other gaseous resources.
[0075] The effluent from the upflow anaerobic sludge bed chamber 6 enters the microalgae-anaerobic MBR regulating chamber 13 through the overflow pipe 15. The sludge that has not settled sufficiently in the upflow anaerobic sludge bed chamber 6 continues to settle in the microalgae-anaerobic MBR regulating chamber 13 and is discharged through the perforated sludge discharge pipe 19 below it.
[0076] The effluent from the microalgae-anaerobic MBR regulating chamber 13 enters the microalgae-anaerobic MBR algae chamber 28. The Chlorella in the microalgae-anaerobic MBR algae chamber 28 absorbs phosphorus-containing compounds in the water through photosynthesis, and the resulting phosphorus-rich algae are discharged through the perforated sludge discharge pipe 19 below it.
