The invention discloses a method for culturing halophilic granular sludge, and belongs to the field of biological treatment of sewage. The principles of the invention are as follows: (1) water inflowload is rapidly increased, and EPS secretion of halophilic microorganisms is stimulated. The microorganisms grow in an attached manner through the binding action of EPS, and mature halophilic active granular sludge is formed under the action of hydraulic shearing force; and (2) long precipitation time and short precipitation time act in a combined manner. At the long precipitation time in the early stage, growth of the halophilic microorganisms in a reactor is achieved; and at the short precipitation time in later stage, selective pressure is provided for granulation. According to the halophilic active granular sludge formed by culture in the invention, sludge sources are various, the technology is simple, the salinity tolerance range is between 1% and 10% due to the fact that the enrichedmicroorganisms come from the halophilic flora of settled sludge at a sea inlet, and a compact morphological structure can be kept. The precipitation time is greatly shortened, the treatment period iseffectively shortened, the treatment effect is guaranteed, rapid treatment of the high-salt wastewater is realized, the short-cut nitrification is realized, and the energy consumption is reduced by 30%.
