Integrated intermediate catalytic pyrolysis of wheat husk

•Thermo-Catalytic Reforming of wheat husk in a laboratory scale plant (2kg/h).•Effect of char recycling in reforming stage on gaseous product compositions.•Bio-oil composition and properties obtained from Thermo-Catalytic Reforming of wheat husk.•In order to use wheat husk oil as a direct engine fuel, it is necessary to carry out upgrading via hydro-processing; or blend with fossil crude oil for further refining.
