The invention discloses an airlift type internal circulation intermittent aerobic granular sludge reactor, which comprises an organic glass column, a temperature controller, a water inlet tank, an aeration pump, a water feed pump, a draining pump, a flow meter, a programmable logical controller, etc. The main body of the reactor is the organic glass column and can be divided into an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, and the inner one is an upspout, while the outer one is a downcast pipe; the ratio of height to diameter is 15. The exterior of the downcast pipe is provided with a water bath heating casing for controlling reaction temperature. Mixed liquor in the reactor flows between the upspout and the downcast pipe in internal circulation to endow granular sludge with a self-balanced micro-ecosystem, the property of the micro-ecosystem is suitable for an up-flow type wastewater treatment system. The reactor adopts the sequence batch operation mode and can realize automatic control by the programmable logical controller. The reactor of the invention has the advantages of flexible operation, compact structure, little sludge remained, good treatment effect, and the like, and can bear high volume load and impact load; furthermore, the reactor has small occupying space and can reduce pork barrel due to relatively large H/D.
