If I remember correctly, where I worked ~50 years ago, urease was extracted from soy beans with water, filtered in a vacuum-filter press, and then
freeze-dried (by lyophilization).

You might find this attached paper useful (in fact, it's the first-ever paper to describe crystallization of an enzyme).
You really should have a centrifuge, but it's not too hard to make one.
