Can it be done in a small scale using a D.I.Y process? E.g., in a domestic environment.

The overall reaction for converting urea to ammonia is:
NH2CONH2 + H2O (steam) --> 2NH3 + CO2 + H2O

The chemical reaction is as follows:
CO(NH2)2 + H2O + urease -----> 2NH3 +CO2
(urea)
The problem is the NH3, because it's a gas, but if incorporated the NH3, acts the same as incorporated anhydrous ammonia. Also, half of 28% liquid N is urea and the same thing happens with this half as with regular urea.
