I have a 240 VAC low pressure blower that I would like to make infinitely variable speed adjustable. Is this possible with this type of blower? Its 250 mm long with a 200 mm dia fan unit and 100mm dia connections

Phil, you might try a fan controller from your local hardware store. The speed control will not be the best, but they do work.
 
A light dimmer type control or a small variac (50 watts size) would work for that

On second thought- if that is a permanent split cap motor (that 1 uf /400v unit in the photo looks like the run cap) the speed can't be varied much.
