Batch methane fermentation of pomace wastes from cereal coffee production was experimentally studied. Data were elaborated with modified Gompertz kinetic model. The 10-time increase in reactor load 5-50 g/dm3 corresponds to proportional growth of maximal biogas yield Hmax from 421.94 to 4119.37 cm3 and growth of maximum process rate Rmax from 1.0745 to 10.7379 cm3/h. Unit reactor yield (for 1 g of raw mass, dry mass and dry organic mass) decreases, however, with increase in reactor load within 5-30 g/dm3 range while unit maximum process rate turned out to be practically load- independent.
